Pittsburgh Steelers LB Chris Carter said he needs to work on his pass coverage to become a more complete player, adding that he already has good pass-rushing skills. Former NFL LB and current Steelers’ defensive assistant Joey Porter has mentored Carter throughout the offseason. According to DL Steve McLendon, Carter looks good and is doing the right things off the field to put himself in the best situation on the field.

Footballguys View: Carter has always been a good straight-line athlete with an explosive first step. He needed to improve his lateral agility and get used to the speed of the game at the pro level. It sounds like Carter is ready to make that next step this year. With only six tackles in three seasons, Carter needs to start producing if he wants a future with the Steelers.
